Go to repair clinic and order a motor coupler for your model washer.
Then go to utube and look this up:

Drive Motor Coupler Replacement (part #285753A) - Whirlpool/ Kenmore Washer Repair

Only a little skill required but a lot of patience needed. And don't wash any more comforters or pillows in it !!

The speedometer on my 95 honda nighthawk 250 does not work.

look on the bottom of the speedo, there is a cable there that runs to the fron wheel, check to make sure it is tight, if it is not, tighten it and it should work, if already tight, unscrew it and check the cable inside, pull it all the way out of its sleeve (the black plastic part) it will be very dirty, so be prepared. ensure both ends are square at the tips, if they are not you need a new speedo cable, if they are square on both ends, slide it back in all the way down and try to twist it, it should not twist once all the way in(but if you turn front wheel, it should twist inside sleeve). once the cable doesnt twist inside the sleeve, match the square end into the square hole where you unscrewed it from on the speedo, then tighten the sleeve nut back on tight. if this doesnt fix it, repost as "how do i relpace speedometer"

Remove rear cover of washer, and top cover also, tilt washer towards you, get someone to hold washer steady, fit belt round motor pulley,and slowly feed belt round drum pulley, watch your fingers, keep feeding belt round oulley, turning drum at same time, it will be tight, but persist, and belt will go on.
